Startups from Kenya, Egypt and Tunisia are among the 12 exponential technology startups selected for the Norway-based Katapult Accelerator. The three-month Katapult programme will see the 12 startups work with the accelerator’s core team and a network of more than 120 international mentors to develop their businesses. From August to November, each of the 12 startups will partake in a dynamic, hands-on programme to help scale their business and increase their impact. Katapult provides a network of global investors and partnerships that can boost the startups into their next phase of development, specific to their growing needs. The Katapult Accelerator Fund invests up to US$150,000 in each startup for an equity stake.
